Taking next gen MD's into account...

Funniest thing is this guy baiting on twitter with that "Whadyya think?" status linking IR's too many "Naan, parotta" references video  

Edit: Sorry I think it was the "Challenges world musicians video" ..as it is titled in youtube. Either way, glass houses, stones etc...

Avan dhaan appdinna avan sonnadha kaettuttu advice panna naadhaaringala enna solla?

Looks like Kamal replaces Yuvan with Ghibran

இந்த நிலையில், கமல்ஹாசன், யுவன் சங்கர் ராஜாவை நீக்கிவிட்டு ஜிப்ரானை 'உத்தம வில்லன்' படத்தின் இசையமைப்பாளராக ஒப்பந்தம் செய்துள்ளதாக கூறப்படுகிறது.

Reason ennavO?

When Kamal is ready to sign with SEL, DSP, Yuvan and even Gibran, what is stopping him from signing Maestro for his films? Are producers still opposed to sign Maestro for their films? I don't think so except for Dasavatharam or Viswaroopam.

Because Yuvan became a Musalman?

"vaNikam" had been the reason told by IR's "unpaid PRO"
 
I wonder what better TN vaNikam can S-E-L or Ghibran could ensure (i.e. better than rAsA).

Possible reasons for not going to IR :
a) All KH ventures with IR in the north had been miserable flops (right from Sadma to HR to MX). So, per filmi sentimentu, any movie KH signs with IR will be a flop in indhi

b) In TN, it doesn't matter who KH signs - it will sell with Kamal's name and not the MD's. So, why pay more to IR,  get the cheapest guy to get the job done. (For the same reason, KH won't sign ARR / HJ or even GVP for TFM. Possibly same reason for no to Yuvan ; the earlier news was possibly some PRO thingy, with no real intention to use Yuvan - in any case, this has to be seen yet as to what will eventually happen).

If someone says, how can IR be costly, he should be economical...well, for KH kind of projects, rAsA may insist upon BSO thus increasing costs (though he may agree to low salary for himself). KH cannot say no as otherwise he knows it will be a lower-grade "synth sounds" (which KH may even consider as lower than Ghibran levels who may use "better" loops).

That's quite interesting
(Means both - Yuvan changing faith and your speculation of KH ditching him for that - are interesting!)

I see another interesting news at Yuvan's twitter home - that Aishwarya Dhanush has signed him up for her next movie (and not their relative boy, Anirudh)

ennayyA nadakkudhu TFM-il?

sAyndhu sAyndhu...adadA hEy yE

App - Nerd was being mischievous. Of all people, Kamal should have least problems with the conversion. And take it from me on authority that IR doesnt have absolutely any problems regarding it. He doesn't interfere in his children's life nor pass judgement on them, and in any case, he is not the type to think conversion to islam is bad. The only thing he does for offspring is the concerts because he believes Karthikeyan deserves a lot more and fate hasnt given it to  Karthikeyan so he compromises on his "I wont do concerts" for Karthikeyan's sake. avLovE dhAn

adhu irukkattum, why w/o Dhanush is suddenly going away from Mahler of Madras?

What is wrong there

Because Yuvan became a Musalman?    

props to Yuvan for coming out in the open if you weigh in the industry peeps who even tweak their Islamic names to generic ones..
though Yuvan would be very good test case on whether religion really fosters creativity in MDs.
also some one should seek AR's opinion on this conversion :vathikuchi:

I like that u1 changed - y?
simply because he had a search inside him that drove him to do it - not because someone told his mother or father - there is a "Eval/pilli sunyam" etc.,
at the end of the day as u1 himself would sing "Thappedhum illai nee appanukku piLLai"..

talk about prejudice..guess they wouldn't raise a flag/stink if Yuvan had converted to Buddhism/Jainism

Yuvan's twitter page not available it seems

Apparently, Yuvan had received some unwanted messages upon his decision to follow another religion. Buzz is that the music composer was upset with the development and decided to de-activate twitter account. However, the actual reason behind Yuvan's decision to quit twitter is not known.

Telugu next gen

Folk art and music

Nandan Raj roughed it out before getting the elusive break. His father was part of a music troupe that performed folk and film numbers in Warangal. “My learning began at home and by Standard IX, I began writing and composing,” he says. A postgraduate in Telugu literature, Nandan studied folk arts for M.Phil. “My campus helped me connect with those who had a creative bent of mind,” he says. Nandan composed for a television serial and ad jingles and approached filmmakers, requesting them to listen to his tunes. The break came through Kaalicharan. The film tanked but his melodies earned him appreciation.

A self-confessed fan of Ilayaraja, he says he attempted to recreate melodies of the 80s and 90s, to befit the film’s 80s setting. “We hear songs of K.V. Mahadevan and Ilayaraja even today. I wanted these songs to be timeless,” he reasons. Compliments came from filmmakers RGV and Puri Jagannadh. Nandan now has three projects, including a Kannada film.

Watched Aaha Kalyanam today. Friend's friend is the director. Movie had its fleeting moments (not watched the original BBB and not sure how well it was translated but have a feeling it suffered from translating a North Indies custom which was the core of that film to a Tamil setting. Wrong story to remake imo) but overall disappointing. But what caught my eyeballs and had me ROFLing was not the romcom (whose com was bearable) but this song, MD'ed by Dharan Kumar. Usual pretentious brighas with thavils, nAdhaswarams and violins in a 'sowkyamAna' tune. Sure hit among mass. That aside, lyrics ROFLmax that I've to share it. Not sure where I could. This thread seems the most apt:

Also felt song had touches of maestro Seyaraasu. Then googled and indeed Dharan Kumar learnt the tricks of the trade from the master himself. Guruparamparai tradition alive and kicking.
